The Pinegrove GS58 & GS59 Leather Guitar Straps are hand built from premium quality leather.   On the upper side is soft, luxurious vegetable-tanned leather with a completely natural grain pattern.  This leather is 5oz weight, 2mm thick and tanned in Tuscany, Italy, using techniques dating back hundreds of years.  After tanning, the leather has been softened in rotating drums with a mixture of fresh oils and waxes to produce its soft buttery feel and distinctive leather aroma.  More details below.

These straps feature a large panel expressing a special effect chrome-tan leather or other material. If there is an effect or colourway you would like that is not shown here, just get in touch. Custom straps can be made at no extra cost.

The underside of the strap can be fitted with either grippy suede or smoother nubuck leather. Nubuck is a polished suede that provides some grip, but slides when you want to adjust your playing angle. Just release a little pressure.Both options are made from high quality cowhide that will not crack or wear out. Inside are two layers of cushioning - a layer of sports foam, plus another layer of thick wadding, These provide plenty of comfort for long gigs.

The strap has a standard interweave adjustment tailpiece with 8 slots, giving a long adjustment range. See the options. The pin holes are a standard 8mm (3/8") wide.

About Natural Leather (Items marked NT or VT)

Natural leather (AKA vegetable-tanned leather) has been made in the traditional way dating back hundreds of years.  This artisan craft uses natural tannin-rich plant extracts such as from oak bark.  It produces the most luxurious leather, but is slow and expensive. Pinegrove's natural leather then goes through a softening process, where the leather is tumbled in rotating drums with organic waxes and oils. This also enhances the leather's natural grain.

The colours and textures available in natural leather are often limited, so we use other leathers too.  These are always high quality leather, and usually full-grain. Some have an applied finish which we cannot source in natural leather. Examples are mock-croc (cowhide debossed with a crocodile-skin effect), nubuck and some leathers with an antique/relic effect.
